Dear ILPCers,

Happy New Year from the ILPC Organising Team! We are getting in touch to say this year's conference is set to be one of the largest and most dynamic in ILPC history. There will be 9/10 streams running in parallel (from Monday lunchtime, 13th April, through to Wednesday lunchtime, 15th April), with symposia running Tuesday late afternoon. PhD papers are integrated into the streams, though PhDs will attend a dedicated workshop on Monday morning. Our key note speakers are timetabled for Monday (Danny Blanchflower) and Tuesday (Guy Standing), wine reception and book launch is scheduled for Monday evening and the conference dinner on Tuesday evening. An action packed few days. And, of course, the registration process also offers you the opportunity to sign up to three different excursions over Wednesday afternoon (Urban walk), Thursday (Island Cruise) and Friday (trip to Delphi). Ideal for those who want to take a whirlwind tour of Greece!

We thank the many who have registered for the conference already. This year we are offering the option of a special inclusive registration which includes 2 nights accommodation at the conference hotel in the heart of Athens (__ http://www.titania.gr/ __), rooms are liable to be booked quite early so we advise early registration. The standard fee and PhD rate is available until the 27th of February. Included in this fee is all conference activities, including lunches, coffee, wine reception and book, conference dinner and, if you choose this option, two nights accommodation at the conference hotel (single occupancy). So don't miss out! Go to __ our website __ for details of conference hotel and day excursions on offer. Click on the '__ registration now open __' on the home page to register. __ Download the registration form __and complete it, marking clearly if you will register with or without accommodation. If with accommodation are you adding additional nights or double occupancy? Will you attend the conference dinner and wine reception? Do you want to attend the additional excursions offered. Total the cost of your activities at the bottom of the form. Once completed email the form to __ ilpc.admin@ilpc.org.uk __ and also use the __ https://www.easypay.gr/AthInsRE.pay?lang=2 __ link to pay electronically.
